Halloween costume contest for Baby Bargain Babe!

This is a good excuse to share a recent photo of baby Lucy!

Last year I was preggo, this time the annual Halloween costume contest is for what my baby Lucy should be!

To recap the rules, you all suggest clever and frugal (of course) costumes. The most bizarre and fun costume is what I’ll dress Lucy up as! With pictures, OF COURSE! Lucy will be nine months on Halloween, if that helps you brainstorm an idea. The contest ends October 24, 2012, which gives me a week to pull the costume together.

COMMENT BELOW WITH YOUR HALLOWEEN COSTUME IDEA!!!

You can suggest anything, but I already have a few costume items that you might want to incorporate. It’s up to you.

Matching top and pants that are red with big black polka dots

Small yellow, fuzzy basket with the face of a baby chick on it

Purple and white tutu

Pink ballet slippers with matching tutu

I’m going to have to hit a lot of Halloween parties so I can dress her up in multiple costumes! This is probably the only year where I’LL GET TO DECIDE WHAT SHE’LL BE!

And dress her up as a cute little Easter Bunny for Halloween 🙂 The outfit part could easily be a fuzzy fleece pajama set, and it’s not too difficult to sew a bonnet with bunny ears (or use a hat that stays on and add ears to that!)

For one of our neighborhood Halloween kids’ parades, a couple dressed as chefs and dressed their wee one as a little lobster, which they carried in an outsized cooking pot! It was absolutely adorable, simple to do, and won a prize! Plus they didn’t have to worry about the wee one crawling all over the place! Another family dressed as pirates… very cute.
